To be fair, those cars with huge windows and great visibility handled rollover accidents by crushing the heads and necks of everyone in them.
Everyone driving SUVs to get to the office is dumb, but we don’t want to go back to the days where the passenger cabin is the primary crumple zone either.
I remember being annoyed by a noticeable increase in the diameter of the cabin pillars of new cars that happened in the mid-late 00’s until I found out it’s because before then rollover protection was akin to prayer and new standards were the culprit for the change. Never complained about the reduced visibility since.
A young lady I worked with for a while was in a wreck years ago, before I met her, that resulted in a rollover in an older vehicle. It absolutely flattened the top of the cabin and pinned her inside with a badly shattered femur. From memory she said it was 4 hours before someone found her. Frankly; fuck that. Give me a new car with a bunch of safety considerations, thanks.
Hey how stupid are the companies that make SUVs and the stupid people who built the office they work in. Actually, the idea of mechanized transport in general is sub human right!
I’m reading this sentence over and over. I’m beginning to think that the whole idea expressed is not particularly the sum of the words. I am an empath, btw
A thousand times this.
You used to look through the car in front of you to see the traffic in front of that car

The factory window tint that’s now standard is also incredible for making getting into a parked car on a hot day so much more bearable

Sure, driving to work in a city in an SUV is perfectly sensible, there’s no other way.
